PostEurop’s position paper on the cross-border parcel delivery proposal

On 12 October 2017, the European Parliament’s committee on Transport and Tourism will vote on its report on the proposal for a Regulation on cross-border parcel delivery services.

PostEurop, the voice of European national Postal Operators, wishes to contribute to the debate through the position paper which you will find below. PostEurop highlights substantial progress made during past parliamentary negotiations, while noting that certain regulatory risks remain.

Parcel delivery is the lifeblood of e-commerce. Every year, e-retailers and consumers in Europe send 4 billion parcels through the post to customers, friends and families across Europe.
